OK, Elsa I made your stuffed acorn squash for dinner tonight and you had my carnivore husband asking for more. Delicious! I remember you saying either here or on mefi that you modified the recipe a bit? Couldn't find the comment. It was great as is though.

Hey! I'm so glad you liked it! That one simple change --- putting the stuffing face-down so it crisps up --- makes a big difference, so I'm really grateful to The Kitchn for teaching me that.

jessamyn, I always think stuffed-whatever is a great place for improvisation, and I've been making variations on the recipe in the link with whatever's in the fridge. Turns out, I like it even better made with broth in place of cream and a good deal less cheese than in the original version. (I keep meaning to update the recipe but then forgetting.)

This year, that topsy-turvy stuffed squash will be the centerpiece of our tiny vegetarian Thanksgiving.
